Kelly Rowland responds to Cannes incident with security guard

admin admin | 05-24 16:15

Kelly Rowland said there were other women who attended the Cannes red carpet "who did not quite look like me and they didn't get scolded or pushed off or told to get off" as she referenced an apparent dispute with a female security guard.

The former Destiny’s Child singer posed for pictures at the premiere of the film Marcello Mio when she seemingly became involved in a heated exchange with a member of staff on Tuesday evening.

The security guard held up her arms to guide 43-year-old Rowland up the stairs to the theatre when the apparent verbal dispute began, with the US singer pointing her finger at the staff member as she appeared upset.

"I stood my ground. And she felt she had to stand hers, but I stood my ground and that was it."

Rowland addressed the incident during the amfAR gala in Cannes, which saw Hollywood A-listers Demi Moore and Cher among the stars supporting to raise money for Aids research.

On the red carpet, Rowland told the Associated Press (AP): "The woman knows what happened. I know what happened. And, I have a boundary. And I stand by those boundaries and that is it.

"There were other women who attended that carpet, who did not quite look like me, and they didn’t get scolded or pushed off or told to get off."

"I stood my ground. And she felt she had to stand hers, but I stood my ground and that was it," she added.

Rowland hit the headlines earlier this year after she reportedly walked off the Today show in the US.

Speculation over her exit has never been confirmed.
